About the event

Get Ready to Paw-ty at Poochella!

Spring is in the air, and so is the smell of doggy treats and catnip! Join us for a tail-wagging good time at Poochella on Saturday, April 11th, from 12:00 to 3:00 PM at the picturesque Ohio Wesleyan University in beautiful Delaware, Ohio. This is not just any event—it's a pet extravaganza hosted by the fabulous Ohio Pet Charities and the Pet Pals Club of Ohio Wesleyan University. And let's not forget our amazing sponsor, Impact 60, a nonprofit that believes everyone can make a positive impact. Seriously, even your pet can help by just looking adorable!
